It good to rotate the engine manually, just to verify that all turns freely. One problem that many have run into is that multi-plate motorcycle clutches can get stuck from sitting. It's as if they the friction plates and driven plates are glued together. Folks have various techniques for freeing a stuck clutch, I prefer disassembly.
For pre-oiling you can spin the engine with the starter with the spark plugs out. This will deliver oil throughout the engine. You should see the oil pressure light go out after a few seconds of this.
